发呆

He did not answer when I spoke -- he seemed to be in a trance.

我跟他讲话时他没有回答--他似乎在发呆。

He didn't answer when I spoke -- he seemed to be in a trance .

我跟他讲话时他没有回答--他似乎在发呆。

The same as you miss me,miss you to be in a trance and cry!

就如你想我一样，想你想到发呆，想你想到流泪！

I will trance, and imagine that will happen after the trouble is entirely a waste of time!

我还会发呆，和想象以后会发生的麻烦，完全是浪费时间！

She found a dead sparrow under a tree.

她在树下找到一只死麻雀当时我在发呆

He arrived early for the meeting so he had to twiddle his thumbs for half an hour.

他开会来早了，所以不得不两眼发呆地等了半个钟头。

Twiddle one' thumbs s to do nothing for a period of time, usually while waiting for something to happen.

百无聊赖，特别是在等待某人脸事时。试译为"两眼发呆"。

No-better still, he would join the Indians, and hunt buffaloes and go on the warpath in the mountain ranges and the trackless great plains of the Far West, and away in the future come back a great chief, bristling with feathers, hideous with paint, and prance into Sunday-school, some drowsy summer morning, with a blood-curdling war-whoop, and sear the eyeballs of all his companions with unappeasable envy.

这不行，最好还是与印第安人为伍，和他们一起捕杀野牛，在崇山峻岭和西部人迹罕至的大平原上作战。等将来当上酋长时再回来。到那时，头上插着羽毛，身上涂满吓人的花纹，再找一个夏日清晨，乘大家昏昏欲睡的时候，昂首阔步，大模大样地走进主日学校并发出令人毛骨悚然的呐喊声，好让同伴们按捺不住羡慕之情，看得两眼直发呆。

I'm just staring vacantly into space.

我只是在发呆

And then he bade them get the fire lit, and stalked out upon his crutch, with his hand on my shoulder, leaving them in a disarray, and silenced by his volubility rather than convinced.

然后，他吩咐他们生火，自己便拄着拐杖，一手扶着我的肩膀，昂首走了出去，留下他们在那里发呆。与其说他们被他说服了，还不如说他们被他的花言巧语哄住了。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
